Advantages of modularity when testing a battery management system

Effective testing and validation of a battery management system can be challenging. Using modular, PXI-based switch and simulation modules offers many advantages, including a flexible test system that can be optimized to meet precisely what is needed and can be easily modified. The modules provide an industry-standard open architecture that promotes longevity and mitigates obsolescence while providing seamless integration of multivendor instrumentation and communication modules. This presentation examines the advantages of combining a multicell battery emulator with PXI switch and simulation modules, such as high-voltage switching, fault insertion and thermocouple and RTD simulation, to create a fully flexible BMS test system.
